The company’s similar agreement with Chevron USA for its Texaco-brand of lubricants, which was entered into in 2005, also remains in place.

Chevron Global Lubricants North America had previously announced that it was combining the Chevron and Texaco commercial and industrial lubricant brands under the Chevron master brand name, with the exception of its consumer product offerings marketed under the Texaco Havoline product line, which will continue to be marketed through its Texaco Xpress Lube network and other marketing channels.

Richard Gathright, president and CEO of SMF Energy, said: The consolidation of the Chevron and Texaco brands and product lines is an exciting development for the company and specifically our mid-continent division lubricant operations in Texas. The addition of the Chevron brand fills in some product gaps in the Texaco line, allowing us to provide our customers with the broadest possible commercial and industrial product line.
